Editor's note: A lot of people seem to think that Kracker performs this song by himself. He doesn't. Dobie Gray (who originally sang it 30 years earlier) does provide backing vocals, including a couple lines in the bridge (where you can clearly hear him). So in addition to a cover, it's more of a revival.
